Buyer Related FAQ’s

Can I use a personal check for my closing funds?2026-05-28T01:45:43+00:00

No. Most title companies, including RSI Title, require a wire transfer or certified/cashier’s check for amounts over a small threshold (usually $500–$1,000). Personal checks are not accepted for down payments or large closing costs because they can be returned after the transaction closes. Contact us for exact wiring instructions well before your closing date.

What is escrow, and how does it work?2025-10-30T00:56:40+00:00

Escrow means we hold funds (such as your earnest money) in a secure account until all contract conditions are met. At closing, we disburse funds to the seller, lenders, and other parties. We are licensed, insured, bonded and have decades of experience to ensure the utmost professionalism and security of your funds. We also invest in the most advanced technology to further protect your personal data.

How much will title and escrow services cost?2025-10-30T00:57:58+00:00

Fees vary depending on property, loan type, and jurisdiction. Typical costs include:

 

  • real estate commissions
  • Lender fees (buyer)
  • Title insurance premiums
  • Settlement fees
  • Recording costs
  • State or local transfer taxes

You’ll receive a detailed settlement statement before closing and we offer free quotes and estimates. We always guarantee our title fees upfront.

How is my information protected?2025-10-30T05:24:21+00:00

We use the most advanced technology for title processing called Qualia Connect. This system uses a portal for all parties to securely send and receive information. It also tracks the progress of your transaction so you can stay updated during the entire process.

Is my closing information and wire transfer secure?2026-05-28T01:47:58+00:00

Yes. RSI Title follows strict cybersecurity protocols for all communication involving wire transfers and financial data. We use encrypted email for sending sensitive instructions and always recommend that clients call us directly to verify wire instructions before transferring any funds. Never wire money based solely on an email, even one that appears to come from us — always call first to confirm.
